Ringo Starr Celebrates 85th Birthday in Beverly Hills With Help From T Bone Burnett and Other Friends
Ringo Starr's annual birthday 'peace and love' send-out continued with support from T Bone Burnett, Jackson Browne, Lucius, Fred Armisen and others.
The semi-private, semi-public function — with fans and new media gathered around the perimeter of a celeb-filled garden party — is always livestreamed each July 7 so that the former Beatle’s followers can chant or shout his catchphrase “Peace and love” at noon PT. Following Tuttle came Sam Phillips, who sang Starr’s biggest solo hit from the early ’70s, “Photograph.” The duo Lucius then emerged to take the lead on “Yellow Submarine,” including a birthday-themed variation on the spoken-word nautical bits. After the performances ended, there was a gap before the countdown, and so Burnett introduced an additional musician who’d volunteered to give a short lesson in the trademark drumming style of Ringo Starr: Fred Armisen.
